Fiat Chrysler Building an Electric Car
What’s Italian for “Electric Car” anyway? Ask Lt. Aldo Raine – “Electrico El Caro” - We’ll have to get Rosetta Stone in preparation, because Chrysler-Fiat are going to built a tiny electrically powered auto for America. Not a hybrid mind you, a full on rechargeable little European roadster for the States.
Chrysler board member Alfredo Altavilla has informed the press that Chrysler and Fiat are working on an electric car. Although he didn’t provide specifics, Altavilla did say that the R&D process is “going very well” and that Chrysler is providing electric propulsion technology for the vehicle. Some blogs, such as thecarconnection.com, are speculating a Fiat 500-type mini city car to go electric. Hell, the electric motor on that puppy would probably be faster then their gasoline one. We are hoping to hear more around November 4th, then CEO Sergio Marchionne unveils the company’s new five-year plan.
